Concept
In account of the cold, humid weather on mountains, I came up with an architecture which is completely covered. Since there is no convenient store nearby, this architecture can provide some snacks to neighborhood in evening. I suppose that it could be a place to visit in afternoon, and it’s more like a secret and private place to meet someone special. Twilight is part of the design, the amount of the light that shed into the building is controlled. Upon entering the architecture, there is a living room followed by a dim walkway leading to the owner’s bedroom. Going to upstairs is another option, the second floor is relatively brighter than the ground floor. The space is designed to let lights enter and refract freely.
Making holes according to the foot traffic is in order to create the image of the light trace. The scenes could be reality, dreams, or imagination. Those ideas are pictures in mind. Our brain is able to repair fragments into a complete memory. The information and memories which are chosen by the brain itself to be truth are in unconscious level that the conscious mind didn’t aware of the selection. It’s similar with the concept that light is not merely passively penetrate the cube, but rich in vigor to change and move yet silent.
